Topic > Pro Communicator: The Work In Progress - 656

There is a vast amount of information you need to understand to communicate professionally. First, it's best to understand why communication is so important in the workplace. Both Susan Adams of Forbes and Kyle Weins of iFixit are grammar sticklers and understand why grammar is essential. I plan to pursue a career in multimedia art and animation and to do so I need the communication skills of a professional. To get to that point I have to self-evaluate my abilities and understand what needs to be done to improve. Only by achieving these objectives will it be possible to communicate professionally. Good grammar is very important in the work environment. This conclusion was gathered after reading articles by both Susan Adams and Kyle Wiens. Having good grammar demonstrates attention to detail. This often means being good at spotting errors and inconsistencies. This also demonstrates the ability to exercise critical thinking with the intelligence that many employers look for according to Kyle Wiens. That said, being capable of good grammar shows that a person is less inclined to pause when answering questions. The use of grammar is especially prevalent in social media and emails. As per Susan Adams, practicing eloquence in grammar online and offline can increase credibility. Show a lot of respect to anyone you talk to as it shows you pay attention to them and their words. (Adams) For this reason, good grammar is considered quite good for business. (Wiens) When he applies these skills in writing and speaking, he makes himself present in the professional workplace. In order to pursue the profession of multimedia art and animation, I must have excellent communication skills...... half of the paper ......definitely requires more work than many would believe. As established by Adams and Wiens, good grammar is what can make the difference in future career endeavors. Even in order to pursue my dream career, I need to be able to keep my verbal and non-verbal communication skills under control. Therefore, I will continue to critique my work and make improvements for my future endeavors. With this understanding, I believe this is what one needs to communicate like a professional.
